Treatments
Specialised care and treatments offered
ALLERGY TESTING AND IMMUNOTHERAPY
This diagnostic and treatment pathway identifies specific allergens causing ENT symptoms like rhinitis or sinusitis, then gradually desensitizes the immune system through controlled exposure therapy known as immunotherapy or allergy shots.
RADIOFREQUENCY ABLATION FOR TURBINATE HYPERTROPHY
This minimally invasive therapy reduces enlarged turbinates inside the nose that cause persistent nasal obstruction. By shrinking excess tissue via controlled radiofrequency energy, airflow improves significantly without extensive surgery.
- Causative symptoms: Chronic nasal stuffiness unrelieved by medications can be linked to swollen turbinates obstructing airflow through nasal passages.
- Evolving diagnosis path: Examination includes anterior rhinoscopy or endoscopy confirming turbinate enlargement as cause of obstruction prior to treatment planning.
- Procedure details: A thin probe delivers low-temperature radiofrequency energy targeting turbinate tissue causing it to contract over several weeks while preserving mucosal surface integrity.
- Results anticipation: Patients usually experience gradual symptom relief within 1-2 weeks post-procedure with minimal discomfort and no hospital stay.
Radiofrequency ablation stands out as an effective option balancing symptom control with rapid recovery in turbinate hypertrophy cases.
OFFICE-BASED EAR WAX REMOVAL
Cerumen impaction can cause hearing loss, discomfort, or tinnitus but is easily treatable in a clinic setting using safe removal methods. This office procedure offers quick relief without need for general anesthesia.
- Symptoms commonly observed: Difficulty hearing, ear fullness, itching, or earache often signal wax buildup needing intervention.
- Assessment tools: Otoscopic examination confirms wax accumulation obstructing the ear canal before treatment proceeds.
- Treatment techniques: Gentle irrigation or manual extraction with specialized instruments safely clears impacted wax under direct visualization.
- Affected patient guidance: Most patients feel immediate improvement in hearing; minor mild irritation may occur temporarily post-removal but resolves promptly.
This simple office service enhances ear health and comfort effectively without invasive steps or hospitalization requirements.
MICROLARYNGOSCOPY
A specialized procedure that allows detailed examination and treatment of vocal cord lesions using a microscope. It helps diagnose voice disorders and enables precise surgical intervention when necessary.
- Signs prompting evaluation: Hoarseness lasting more than two weeks, vocal fatigue, or unexplained voice changes warrant this procedure.
- Diagnostic approach: Microlaryngoscopy provides magnified visualization of vocal cords under general anesthesia for accurate assessment.
- Treatment possibilities: It facilitates removal of benign lesions such as polyps or nodules while preserving normal vocal cord function.
- Recovery overview: Voice rest post-procedure is crucial; most patients notice voice improvement within days to weeks depending on lesion type.
This technique combines diagnostic precision with therapeutic benefits essential for restoring healthy voice quality.
BALLOON SINUPLASTY
This innovative technique offers gentle relief for patients with blocked sinuses caused by chronic or recurrent sinusitis. Balloon sinuplasty opens the sinus passages using a small inflatable device.
- Symptoms and causes: Chronic nasal congestion, pressure, and headaches due to inflamed or narrowed sinus openings can indicate this treatment's suitability.
- Diagnosis: A thorough examination including nasal endoscopy and imaging helps identify candidates for this outpatient procedure.
- Treatment process: A catheter with a deflated balloon is guided into the sinus passage and then inflated to expand the pathway without removing tissue.
- Recovery expectations: Minimal bleeding and pain are common; most patients return quickly to daily activities with lasting improvement in symptoms.
Balloon sinuplasty presents a safe alternative for those seeking less invasive options backed by effective symptom relief.
ENDOSCOPIC SINUS SURGERY
Endoscopic sinus surgery is a minimally invasive procedure used to restore normal drainage of the sinuses. It is often considered when chronic sinusitis does not respond to medication.
- Symptoms and causes: Persistent nasal congestion, facial pain, and recurrent sinus infections are common reasons for considering surgery. Structural issues or polyps may obstruct sinus drainage.
- Diagnosis: Diagnosis typically involves nasal endoscopy and CT imaging to evaluate the extent of sinus blockage or inflammation.
- Treatment options: The procedure uses an endoscope inserted through the nostrils to remove obstructions without external incisions, preserving healthy tissue.
- What to expect: Post-operative recovery usually includes nasal irrigation and a short course of medication; most patients experience significant symptom relief.
This approach aims to improve breathing and reduce infection frequency while ensuring rapid healing with minimal discomfort.
